you dont dump your cable or land line or any other service for one glitch. i never had a problem with vonage.except the price. compared to ooma. and will not go back unless there is no ooma

Gee, thanks for the perspective.

The problem is that page one of this support thread says that the service is fully operational. It is not. Some real status would be nice.

I don't think the Ooma gremlins and trolls decided to make everyone's day hell. I am sure valuable lessons were learned from today's failure. I have lost other services including power for a longer period, so this really isn't that big of a deal.

Try to put things in perspective, and I get more than what I pay for out of my Ooma service.

It would be helpful if I Ooma had the ability to forward on internet failure should anything like this ever happen again.

Thanks. Wayne
And I must say I love OOMA. I put in alot of research before deciding on it and I couldnt be happier. With OOMA premier i have been able to give my family a local number to call me, now my whole family saves money just by me having OOMA. So for all the people who are wondering if it was worth it to get OOMA in the first place IT IS! People need to give OOMA a break.

2nd this. I lost the blue for few hours and missed my telecon time. However, when I read the thread from this forum, I felt much better - a lot of fans to support the service. Now I am back with blue - just with power-cycled reset.

I'm second that.

I'm in the sixth weeks of ooma, and my phone bill went down to $99 from $192 after the port completed. Another month, I'll break even on the hardware cost. I have nothing to complain about.

What would Zeno of Elea or Socrates think of this attitude.
Are you still offline? You can ask for some tips and support here if you would like help.
It was a good perspective tengger had.[/quote]

Erm, what kind of tips or support would you care to offer?

Let's see... ooma worked for the three days I've had it installed. Today it went offline. The 1&2 buttons on my hub are red. We apparently suffered a catastrophic outage. Support status says that it is all fixed now, but it is apparently not for me and for others. Turn off / turn back on does not work.
